Abstract
A procedure has been developed for selecting the structural design of chemical reactors based on a three-level optimization algorithm that employs an effective cost criterion. The maximum reactor productivity is calculated under conditions in which an optimum temperature profile is realized in the catalyst bed. Results are given for the optimization of the design parameters of multiple-tray catalytic reactors for the joint synthesis of methanol and higher alcohols.
